Darts

It's been a while since I've watched much darts. My my, what great entertainment. It's a shame that it has the ring of a sport that is dominated by beer and pubs. Many would say it's not a sport at all, however it's much like tennis in it's scoring, often leading to sudden death. I also believe it has more personalities and variety than a lot of other sports. Take these guys:
- Klassen - current champion, yet throws darts like he doesn't care and can't wait to get rid of them
- Stompe - just beaten Klassen (quite an upset!), must be in the running an OCD award. His throw is quite unique with a double feint.
- Adams vs O'Shea - another fine match, with the defending champion getting a good run for his money (despite what the 3-0 score would suggest). 140s and 100+ three dart out shots all the way. Very impressive!

The final will definately be one to watch on Sunday 14th January!
